I really thought this game was going to be played in more dimensions. But it's just a linear cover shooter with some anti-grav stuff (Looks like Bulletstorm) and once and a while you transition onto walls. I was hoping for something a little more mind-bending.

This guy sucks at his own game. Why did he keep going into/out of zoom? Frustratingly nauseating. The voice acting for the girl was horrible...it's clearly a grown woman talking in a high pitched voice. Awful. The rest of the game seems so-so.

finaly a game who dont ask 60 bucks for a 12 hour game, i maybe gonna give this a try as soon i have some more info about the game. This now playing was to short to decide.  But until now it looks good enough for 25 bucks

Well atleast the characters don't look like steroid junkies like gears.

Nothing is original guys, every story/idea has been done before in SOME way... its how you tell it that makes it good. Honestly this looks nothing like Gears of War to me.. for one Gears of War is really ugly and everyone looks WAY to buff. Good game? Yes.... But its hard to compare it to this, where everyone is the size of a normal human being. As far as the story goes.. not seeing the connection on that ether.. I mean if we're saying everything with big monsters/aliens is a rip off from Gears of War or other past games then theres a long list... Mass Effect, Duke Nukem, Doom etc etc... This is like saying every first person shooter is a rip off of Call of Duty. Or saying Uncharted is a rip off from Tomb Raider.. simaler ideas, but not really alike when you get into it. Inspired or simaler ideas should not ring "rip off" in peoples minds. Give the game a chance guys, gamer to gamer, thats all I ask. I for one will probley rent this and buy it if I like it.

Camera wobble is a trend that needs to die.

complete and utter rip off of Gears, just as everyone else has said.

ilantis 18 pts

Can't help but feel this is an americanized version of a generic japanese 3rd person shooter

ilantis 18 pts

ps: omg it totally looks like gears of war XD Rolling, covering, grabbing weapons, the crosshairs. Might as well colled it "Girasu of Warsu : shin mega wattai"

I read some of the comments before and when I started watching my reaction was along the lines of "this looks nothing like Gears! Well actually I guess that does and that does, but that's new. Oh but that looks like Gears, as does what they're doing and that action...' Loads of stuff is the same, from the look of the wrecked cars to the way they kick a door. But Gears is a good series so maybe this will be good too.

It gets 0 points for originality since anyone could mistake the game for Gears from a distance , they borrowed way too much. Hopefully the gravity stuff will set the game apart otherwise it just looks too generic.

IanNottinghamX 18 pts

Inversion.....the fake Gears should be its name

IanNottinghamX 18 pts

wow a copy paste of Gears of war(yawns)

xsonicchaos 30 pts

this has such high potential and still they decided to import almost everything from other games.

CovertChris 15 pts

Wow.  This looks so much like Gears it's not even funny.   And I don't like Gears.  

danielcliment 7 pts

Gears?... greeaars? is that you?! or is it Ghost busters on fire?

RyuRanVII 7 pts

Oh, great! Another generic cover-based  third person shooter with mediocre level design consisting in small arenas filled with cover blocks...

 

Blarghhh!

ChaosUndivided 17 pts

I'm not one to criticise games for being similar but this really is just another Gears of War in every way. With an added antigravity effect.

PlatinumPaladin 66 pts

Utterly uninspiring. Surely it would've been better to demonstrate more of the powers which supposedly make this game different from all the others. And why did the enemy snipers all fall forwards off the building like in an old western? If I got shot in the chest by a sniper on the other side of the street I'm pretty sure I'd be on my ass, not doing a swan dive. But then again, this is Inversion.

Whats with that under barrel blade ripped off from fenixs retro lancer ?

shahirbear 5 pts

 Spartan765 I thought the exact same thing...But that's just as easily said of Lancer vs a real life bayonet lol.

Goku375 6 pts

am i the only one here who feels that the characters in this game has been cut and pasted in the gears world , same applies for Binary Domain

Madball357 32 pts

So, magic health regen and cover to allow console gamers to play an FPS with a controller and not die every 5 seconds and Cloud's swors attached to an assault rifle. Right.

endorbr 97 pts

So the walls EXPLODE spectacularly but that padded sofa just absorbs bullets like it's made out of 2 feet of concrete.

TheSkilledOne06 14 pts

 endorbr its probably a chuck norris brand sofa >_>

they need a woman in the game to add some drama lol!

SwallyBoy 5 pts

Looks interesting! Wasn't sure at first, but grown on me!

red666devil 9 pts

Ofcourse no one can create same stuff as Godfather or Goodfellas.. 

so please dont compare this to Gears or Uncharted... I think they are putting a lot of effort in this game. And thank god they have this as a 3rd person shooter and not FPS... then people would have compared it to COD and BF.I think you should just judge it without comparison.  Like that you will be able to enjoy and be entertained. I think its still in development phase... they will surely fix alot of stuff in it, and give it another round of polish

tightwad34 19 pts

I am going to call it now, this game will have between a 65 and 70 on Metacritic. It will have a low score of 6 and a high of 7.5. I would probably be willing to bet on it.

BlackBaldwin 14 pts

not even a minute into this video I get the I'm still alive ripe off from this game...  Guys looking for daughter blah blah not there blah blah I'll pass bandai oh btw bring over more tales games I will buy those thanks!!!

Vince21C 14 pts

meh meh... another shooter.... had so many...and for a demo why didn't they show the gravity powers... Fail advertising?

Hd_Snake 11 pts

Yeah does seem like a Gears clone :) But the game is alright

 

McStrongfast 5 pts

What a weird demo. They have this gravity gimmick that's supposed to be the thing with this game, and they're just barely showing one power after like 10 minutes. Based on this demo it looks very blase.

 

That mission failure is also pretty odd since you're not told you need to protect those two,. "Help the group push back the something or others." is all it says. There are no icons or anything above those guys. And it seemingly just fails you arbitrarily out of nowhere.

 

Also sound bugs with a couple of lines.

anigmha 5 pts

 McStrongfast Yeah, man. This was one of the worst showcase I have ever seen. I found myself skipping segments so I could get straight to the gravity manipulation stuff highlighted in their trailers. Geez, no wonder people think that this is a facsimile of Gears of War.

You can't lie down at the cover? When facing enemies that are a on a higher ground that would be very helpful. The way he was playing he was totally exposed.

Gelugon_baat 494 pts

Actually, when I first posted here, I wanted to write something about this game being rather similar to Gears of War.

 

But hey, I am not to consider imitation a bad thing - especially if what is being imitated is something that works.
